Cards by Kerri

Hello!  I was soooo excited to be asked to be on the Product Focus Team for Splitcoast this year!  Our first product is Flower Soft Ultra Fine and you can see the full review HERE.  I made 4 projects with this awesome product:
This is a stamp from the Flower Soft Moments in Time series called Best Friends.  Love it!!!  I used some Sage FSUF on the grass and I just love the texture it adds!  The dp is October Afternoon Farm Fresh.
For this card I used the Your Next Stamp set Happy Days Mermaid.  Isn't she precious!?!  I added some Sand FSUF to outline my sandy hills, and some Strawberry FSUF to her swimsuit top and flower in her hair : )

Hello!  Today's darling digi from The Greeting Farm is this adorable gal named Charlotte :)  Isn't she just so sassy!?!  Love her!  I paired her with some retired SU Sweet Always DSP, and the layout is Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #58.  Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

Hello!  The Greeting Farm is having a really fun event called the CHA Relay!  Each day they are giving away a FREE Digi image, but in order to get the next image, you have to make a card and have it posted in the TGF Gallery by 6 p.m. Central!  That's less than 3 hours away, so if you haven't grabbed up this cutie, go HERE to get him now!  This image is called Mer Ian.  I printed him out and colored him with Copics.  The layout is Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #57.  I hope you get a chance to play along : )  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello!  I decided to sit down and make a couple of cards for the Viva la Verve challenges going on this month.  Amber has chosen to use inspiration photos along with her fabulous sketches, so I couldn't resist!  This was the photo I chose for VLV week 3:

Hello!  I know I said I would post these yesterday, but I have been so consumed with trying to figure out where to send my soon to be kindergartener to school next year!  Unfortunately we are not zoned for a very good school : (  We didn't think it was a big deal because we thought we would be out of this house by the time Avery was starting elementary school, but we also didn't know that the housing market would crash and burn like it has!  Soooo here we are and I have been doing a ton of research trying to weigh our options.  I will probably continue to be stressed for the next 2-3 months until we figure it out! 

Hello!  I hope you are having a wonderful weekend : )  It has warmed up here in Central Florida. We are about to head out on a walk but I wanted to share a card I made this past week for one of the Verve release challenges.  This one was a sketch challenge.  I used 3 Verve sets on this card~Hearts on Fire for the hearts, Thankful Hearts for the sentiment, and Thankful Accents for the small heart by the sentiment : )  The dp is retired SU Bella Rose DSP.  I love me some Verve : )  Thank you so much for stopping by, and I will have a couple more cards for you tomorrow!

Hello!  Last week I told you about these awesome new templates that the fabulous Leigh Ann Baird~Stamping with Annie B~started creating.  Well, she asked if I would like to be on her DT!  Of course I said YES, because the 5 templates she has available now are all SPECTACULAR!!!  Today I get to introduce you to one of her new templates called Bag It Up!  This little bag was so fun and easy to put together, that I had to make two of them : )
